I would advise anyone eligible to vote, to check out the three main party leaders' spiritual and club affiliations. They are each members of an endemic male club that is wreaking havoc across he UK at the moment. Two of them are 33rders, and I have some good evidence to support this.

From what I can gather, it seemed to be the homosexual lobby that posed the question - in a hardly pro-papal way (cost of security was mentioned; the pope being anti-homosexual and anti- contraception; his 'responsibilities' for the sex abuse scandals etc.).

All three party leaders said they disagreed with the pope and the Church on moral issues, but all three want him to come!

I found the question depressing, not because there are people like the questioner who exist - I knew they did - and not because I was surprised how opposed to Catholicism all three parties are, but because the fact Sky allowed the question, and no one argued against its premises at any point, shows just how embedded anti-Catholicism and ignorance is in society.

I still cannot understand why the question was allowed in the first place, especially since the questions were vetted by the organisers beforehand. The 3 leaders were unaware of the question. I will be candid here, I am a conservative, and am actively working for a Conservative victory, but I must say all 3 leaders answered the question perfectly acceptably, bearing in mind that none are Catholics.

However, surely Tom is being too harsh - their answers on Homosexuality, contraception and abortion might not have been in line with Catholic moral teaching, but they could rightly claim that the Catholic Education service's guidlines on the treatment of those three issues in Catholic schools are no different to their own views. Don't blame the 3 Leaders, we should get our own teaching in line first.

Bernadette, you confuse me. Please tell us what is this "endemic male club", what on earth are "33rdrs", and which of the three are members?I am genuinely interested in the answer.
